[humanser] seeking information

[Merry Schoch]

Hello my fellow Federationists,

 

Below is text from President Riccobono's weekly "President's Notebook".
Please assist if this applies to you or pass on if you know of someone this
may be applicable too.

Seeking Information Involving Epic EHR Software:
The National Federation of the Blind is assisting Manuel G. Morse in a
lawsuit against Epic Systems Corporation and others because the
inaccessibility of Epic's software has made it impossible for Mr. Morse to
perform his job as a hospital dispatcher. You can read the full press
release about the litigation at
https://nfb.org/national-federation-blind-supports-blind-healthcare-workers-
discrimination-claim 

Have you had an experience similar to that of Mr. Morse? If so, we need to
hear from you. Please contact Valerie Yingling, legal program coordinator at
the NFB Jernigan Institute, at (410) 659-9314, extension 2440, or
vyingling at nfb.org. 

 

Wishing you all a terrific Tuesday!

Merry C. Schoch, LCSW
